Doug Walters writes: "This is my new truck, a 1918 Dodge Brothers light repair truck. They were used as a tool truck during WW1, carried tools to repair other trucks or anything that was broken. There were 1012 built and only 4 known to still exist by the Dodge Brothers Club. They are hand crank only with no electrical system, kerosene cowl lights and tail light. I had to paint it, someone YEARS ago had sandblasted and primed it. The engine started very easily, drives great. I took it to Hershey, including the always necessary female, my grand daughters.
It was used at a local Hershey military camp and remained in that area all this time. I've been trying to buy it for about 6 or 8 years. I actually talked to a 91 year old that rode in this truck in 1930 when his father was part of the camp. I still have lots of detail work, all the tools are gone but I have a manual that lists what should be with it. The thought is most of them went to France and never returned. If anyone knows of any others (or parts of others) I would like to hear from them. Any info would be helpful, especially pictures of them in action."
